We used Landscape Connection for a complete overhaul of our front and back yards/gardens. Our designer, Devon, carefully listened to our desires for the project. She helped educate us on what to plant and why and helped us stay away from plantings that wouldn't do well in our situation. She was always very responsive and really listened to everything we communicated so that the end project was better than we could have imagined.
The crews that did the demolition and installation were professional and careful and thorough. Many of our neighbors have commented to us that they couldn't believe how impressive this team was. I'm not kidding when I say that any time we're sitting in our front garden space, we always receive compliments from people passing by. We'll definitely be using this company for our needs in the future and heartily recommend them for your landscaping project.

USE THIS COMPANY! We could not be happier with our landscape project. It was an extensive 6-week project that included removing old retaining walls and building new ones, installing stairs, new sprinklers throughout, landscaping, laying a new firepit patio, etc. Scott, Ismael and crew were flexible (we had numerous changes in the middle of the project), respectful (they cleaned up the worksite as best they could every evening), and above all, true craftsmen.
The crew was here every morning before 8am and often stayed past 5pm 5 days/week. They worked their tails off to make sure everything was as we had hoped(actually even better) and we are LOVING the work they did. This is a wonderful group of people who are great at what they do!

Critical: Quality, Responsiveness, Value Used old technology with my sprinklers ("shark bite" technology). I am one year out and have had to replace 3 entire lines. My whole yard will have to be replaced eventually. I contacted the company with no response.

Jared and the crew were great to work with. The design of the back yard firepit patio looked fantastic on paper but due to the change in elevation, the reality wasn't looking that great. We called Jared to take a look and he was able to make excellent suggestions which turned out better than we expected. The planting area in the front of the house was a great finishing touch and many people still stop by and comment how great it looks.
A few serviceberry shrubs (2 of the 3) either lost their leaves or the leaves changed color and shriveled up. Jared came through and replaced both. We are so happy with their design and installation. Dave & Laura Lee Turnquist

Year one was the backyard. Year two was the front yard. And this year we had our patio redone - all by Landscape Connection. I wouldn't use anyone else! They are knowledgeable, professional, and honest with high standards and fair pricing. Devon is landscape designer extraordinaire! She really knows her plants and has an eye for detail and design. Plus she is great at communication and responsive to questions.
Thanks to her, we have now nicknamed our lush xeriscape landscape "Denver Botanic Gardens West". Props also go to Pancho who meticulously cut and set the flagstone for our patio this year. He is truly a master craftsman. We feel very lucky to have discovered Landscape Connection. Now if only the weather would cooperate so we can get out there and enjoy our patio and gardens!
